Good win for the team. Holding onto the ball remains an issue but I think as they get more games under their belts it will improve. I'm not expecting it to get to the level that I'd like to see in that department but limiting the stupid TOs would go a long way to helping us improve. Lots to like about this team though.

Just watched Franks post game presser. He is one pissed off dude! Very unhappy with the lack of hustle and focus of his team. Unhappy with turnovers. Unhappy with his guard play. Unhappy with attendance. His assistants are going to have to try to calm him down or he might hurt somebody! He said they might have somebody miss a game because of an injury from loose ball drills! He did say they played defense pretty good in the first half, but not in the second half. He said he is either going to fix the problems, or they are going to bury him! The guys should get ready for a couple of rough days of practice before the game on Saturday!

Wow he so mad. Again he called out the attendance- I'm worried he'll just get sick of the lack of support and just bounce. But that also could be an old school mind set- attendance isn't that high anywhere for midweek non-conference games.

That thought crossed my mind too. But with few exceptions, unless its an opponent that people know, its hard to get a big crowd for a Wed. non conference game in Dec. I expect the crowds will grow when SEC play starts. But I understand Frank's frustration. It would be nice to have a big crowd for every game.

I go to every game, but I know that's not typical. If you didn't go to the game Saturday and/or the game tonight, why didn't you go? If you did go, why, also? Let's be brutally honest.

I think more people don't go because of the schedule consisting of little known non-conference opponents.

I go to every game because it's a good way to let off steam, I believe it's disloyal to NOT go and I love basketball.

I have season tickets but I live in Charleston. Itís hard to make it to weekday games at 7 oíclock. I usually make a good number of them though. For weekday games, it usually requires people who live near Columbia to come out. Unfortunately in our case, thatís a tough draw. I donít know what the answer is for us to have a huge crowd every night. We went to a Final Four last year and still have the same issues.

Silva broke his nose in practice, but it was before the last game. Nobody knew about it because he did not wear the mask for the last game.

Frank is doing what he does. The players are meshing slowly and they need to learn what Frank expects on D and in terms of effort. The practices over the next couple of weeks (and the intense practices actually started after the last game when Frank was unhappy) will pay off by the end of the year.

The good news - Haase gives us the 3rd big that we needed last year. If Doumbia, Cudd or Gueye can improve enough to give us some minutes, we will have something.

We still need to get Holden 100% and going full-speed. Until then, the guard play will be lacking. Of course, if Rah returns, that would be huge.

Didn't they like give away tickets (or solicit donations from ticket holders) and stuff at football games to get some asses in the seats for several games this season? Did they sell out the season tickets? They might need to drop the prices or move people who repeatedly don't come up out of the lower bowl. Ticket sales probably aren't really that meaningful in the big picture of revenue versus keeping a good coach and making the product look attractive for recruits and TV.

Sounds like he's going to be looking to bail eventually with this lack of support. Granted, you lost all your fun to watch guards and its not like you're scheduling Michigan here.

The entire lower level of CLA sold out with season tickets this year. First time in a very long time. Unfortunately, it just doesn't reflect with the amount of people deciding not to attend the games.

Fans and students don't have an excuse anymore. Before he understood because the team was bad. Before he understood because the team was still trying to figure out a identity. This team just gave you a Final 4 banner. Fill up the arena and support the program.
